Are you talking about the vice libretro core or the standalone emulator ? RetroArch input combos do not apply to the standalone emulator.

@sleve_mcdichael Well, it took awhile. But I did as you suggtested and wrote it using the retropie buster that you linked, reinstalled everything as before. The stephen selph wont install anymore, keeps popping an error. But I was able to use the built in one (Not the one in the main interface but the one through the alternate packages section) and it worked this time!
Thank you!

OK, booting to the front end worked as expected. I can even get out and start the other one from console. Great.

All these years I've been running Emulation Station from the Desktop Environment. I guess now it should work even better, since there are several components that don't get to start.

@mitu thanks for the support!

@mitu Thank you sirs

@windg I tried to unpack to raspberry os x64, it still ends with an error. Maybe the archive is broken. Trying another archive at the moment .
My English is low level ) .

You have to install this package : unrar-1:6.0.3-1 not unrar-free-1:0.0.1. Sorry, my previous message wasn't clear enough and i hope you didn't install RetroPie on Bullseye 64 bit, it is a lot of time just to unrar few games.

@dankcushions that is brilliant news, cheers mate

Not necessarily, you can copy the resurces folder to $HOME/.emulationstation and make sure it's readable by the user running emulationstation. Note that you'll still need to create the rest of the configuration files (es_systems.cfg) and copy at least a theme under $HOME/.emulationstation/themes.

@Exalos No.

@mitu
Thank you for your excellent support.
I was under the impression that both HDMI's mimic each other. It seems not to be the case.

I plugged the wire from one HDMI port to the other and it worked perfectly.
correction resolution and UI is 10 times faster along with the games and the input delay.

Thank you so much.

@frankeanu said in No prompt to set up my controller:

@Addison Sorry, I just wanted to provide the info of what I was using. There was no personal reference link; it was the URL copied directly from the Amazon product listing. It's now removed.

A correct Amazon link would appear as something like this.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/XXXXXXXXXX/

Yours had extra which meant a referral was also included.

It's okay though.

Just be a little more careful.

It's easy to get suddenly banned here. :P

From the product page, it doesn't seem to be PC compatible and it will only work on a PS3.

@dankcushions

Thank you Dark!

Looked around everywhere on Google and couldn't find this.

Probably termed my search incorrectly.

As a follow up. I ordered a keyboard that got here today. It seems to have resolved my issue.

I was using an older Apple USB keyboard but this one is simply newer. I just searched Raspberry Pi Keyboard and got a cheap $12 one.

So far so good! I was also able to add an Xbox remote via bluetooth.

SSH is also working but I haven't tested that over Wifi only.

@duglor said in Controller not working as Kempston for Spectrum Games:

Excellent. Does that mean it's in the latest binary update or source update? or not yet?

You may now update via binary or source and should receive changelist 847dbbd (or later if any new changes come in).

You can verify this after you update by selecting "Package version information" and noting the long "Commit" number (should start with 847dbbd)

@mitu well, seems it was really that easy, I didn't do the update obviously. Sorry.

But as a warning to anybody else: I am pretty sure something is going very wrong at the moment. Compiling has been running since my last post. From the file names I think the games that were in scummvm folder are beeing processed aswell... Which I don't believe should be the case :D won't abort this now, I will check the result.

You should change the Audio Device in EmulationStation's settings to one of the entries listed by aplay. If you the option doesn't show up in the menu, then edit es_settings directly and fill in the AudioDevice there.

front:CARD=Audio, DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
Front Speakers

surround21:CARD=Audio, DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers

surround40:CARD=Audio, DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers

@mitu

Thank you for your help
One of the kids must of reset the es.system.cfg
All rom directories are pointing to /root/RetroPie and all my ROMS are /home/RetroPie. !

it is a shame I don’t know how to tweak KIOSK mode & kids mode so you can still get the benefits from using Full UI Mode

Hi @mitu, I keep digging and find strange stuff, look at this...

pi@retrocade:~$ sudo amixer scontrols Simple mixer control 'HDMI',0 pi@retrocade:~$ amixer scontrols Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Simple mixer control 'Capture',0

@sleve_mcdichael said in A question about EmulationStation scraper.:

I know Skyscraper have this option, but the issue i had with it is the size of 2D box, they are small and not big like ES scraper.

Also configurable: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/ARTWORK.md

Here is the artwork.xml file I use for a flat box-art and (separate) marquee image:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <artwork> <output type="screenshot" resource="cover"/> <output type="marquee" resource="wheel"/> </artwork>

I used your artwork.xml file and it works!
Without your help I would not have made it, it was to complex for me. Thank you very much!!
